Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information Bambu Langkawi collects, why, and your choices. The short answer: we collect very little. This site has no accounts, comments, forms or newsletter, and we do not run our own analytics or advertising trackers.
Who we are
Bambu Langkawi (bambulangkawi.com) is a travel blog run by the team behind Bambu Getaway in Langkawi, Kedah, Malaysia. In this policy "we" means that team. We decide how personal data on this site is used.
What we collect
- Information you give us. We do not collect information through forms or accounts on this site. If you contact us through bambugetaway.com, that site receives your message and what you put in it, and we use it only to reply.
- Server logs. Like any website, our hosting provider's servers receive your IP address, browser type, device type, the page you asked for, the referring page and the time of the request. This is used to deliver the site, keep it secure and fix faults.
- Links to Bambu Getaway. Links from this site to bambugetaway.com carry a source tag (for example
utm_source=bambulangkawi) so that site can see you arrived from here. No personal details are in the tag.
Third-party services on this site
Some pages load content from other companies. When that happens, that company may receive your IP address and device details and may set its own cookies, under its own privacy policy:
- Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com, fonts.gstatic.com), used for typefaces on every page.
- Google News (news.google.com), a script that powers the "preferred source" button on most pages.
- YouTube (youtube.com), an embedded video on our mangrove tour video guide. YouTube may set cookies when that page loads or the video plays.
Links to other sites, including booking, government and tour operator sites, take you away from ours. Their policies apply there.
Cookies
We do not set cookies of our own, and we do not use advertising or analytics cookies. The third-party services above may set cookies when you load the pages that use them. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If we add analytics or advertising tools in future, we will update this page first and ask for your consent where the law requires it.
How we use information and our legal basis
We use the limited information above to run and secure the site, to understand technical problems, and to reply when you write to us. Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, our legal basis is our legitimate interest in operating a secure, working website, and your consent where we ask for it. We do not sell personal information, and we do not use it for automated decisions that affect you.
Sharing, transfers and retention
We share information only with service providers that help us run the site, such as our hosting provider, and where the law requires it. Because Google and other providers run global systems, your information may be processed outside the country where you live, including outside Malaysia. Where the law requires safeguards for these transfers, we rely on the safeguards our providers offer. We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above. Hosting logs are kept for the period our provider sets.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask for access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data we hold about you, to object to or limit its use, to withdraw consent, and to complain to a regulator.
- Malaysia. Under the Personal Data Protection Act 2010, as amended, you may ask for access to and correction of your personal data, and you may complain to the Personal Data Protection Commissioner.
- EU, EEA and UK. You have the rights described in the GDPR and UK GDPR, including to complain to your local data protection authority.
- California and other US states. You may have rights to know, delete and correct personal information and to opt out of its sale or sharing. We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising.
We hold very little personal data, but we will check and answer your request. Contact us through bambugetaway.com and mention Bambu Langkawi and the name of the policy in your message.
Children
This site is written for adults planning travel, including parents planning family trips. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Security and incidents
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures, including encrypted connections, and we rely on our hosting provider's security. No online service is completely secure. If a personal data breach affects you, we will notify you and the relevant regulator as the law requires.
Changes to this policy
We will post changes on this page and change the date at the top. If a change is significant, we will make it prominent on the site.
